One thousand submissions attract 95 per cent opposition to new Tesla factory in Australian city of Adelaide.

'I could not think of a worse developer to sell the land to. Tesla sales have been plummetting [sic] … this is likely to attract protests and negative attention that the neighbourhood does not need or want.'

Chestnut Court Reserve has not been accessible to the public since 2016 due to contamination concerns. Through the sale of the land MAB CCT Ltd would be required to address the contamination to support a future development application.

It looks like it was vacant residences that were demolished in 2016. I am also having trouble finding informative sources, but from what I can tell the contamination was from past manufacturing in the area.

The land belongs to the public. The public have the right to decide what to do with the land. End of story.

Either way cities don't get worse when the public opposes the sale of land to international capitalist giants that actively engage in political manipulation. Buffalo, NY can tell you all about letting Musk build factories with public resources.

It was the former Chrysler car factory, given back to the SA govt by Mitsubishi and zoned industrial.
